Episcopal Campus Ministry is an inclusive community within the academy of Indiana University. It is a nesting place for students, faculty, and staff to embrace and explore their spirituality in an accepting environment where inquiry is deemed a natural and healthy part of faith. Anglican theology is built upon a three-legged stool of scripture, tradition, and reason - recognizing that you don't have to turn off your brain when you step into church!

Episcopal Campus Ministry is a mission of the Diocese of Indianapolis. It operates through the Canterbury Fellowship to provide a nesting place specifically for the students, faculty, and staff at Indiana University as they pass through the academy. Our primary life is expressed through worship and fellowship on Thursday nights and Sunday mornings, through active participation with members of the campus inter-faith community, and through the pursuit of academic studies and the quest for knowledge. Episcopal Campus Ministry stands door to door with Trinity Episcopal Church, offering two thriving, complementary Episcopal presences for the Bloomington community.
Our chaplain, Mother Linda+, serves to provide guidance, mentorship, and care for those in Bloomington. She is aided by three peer ministers. Canterbury is governed by the Episcopal Campus Ministry (ECM) Board.
